The struggle az syracuse over.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, August 20.-The
United Labor Convention finished its
labors by adopting the Clarendon Hall
platform, ON which Henry George
made his canvass for Mayor of N. Y,
and nominated full State ticket, as
follows: Secretary of State, Henry
George, of New York Comptroller,
Victor A. Wilder. of Kings; State
Treasurer, B. III. Cummings, of Mont
gomery; Attorney General, Dennis G..
Feeley, of Monroe; State Engineer
and Surveyor. Sylvanus A. Sweet, of
Broome.
The N. Y. Times says:
/ Measured solely by the outcome of
its deliberations, this convention of
United Labor can hardly be taken Sc
riously. But it is unquestionably true
that this ticket and this platform, gro
tesque as they appear to The judgm. mt
of right thinking men, will doubtless
command a considerable strength at
the polls We believe that the parti-
sans of Mr.. George and those Repub-
licans who see their interest in rr0-
noting his schemes, generally overes
innate his strength, however, and un-
less some new unforeseen element
should come into the canvass to swell
the George vote, we are confident that
the result of this trial of its candidates
and its principles before the people
will convince Mr.. George and his as
sociates that they are not the chosen
instruments to lead the political COM
munity out of the wilderness,

SIN sriff Lynch Dead.

Sheriff Charles G. Lynch, whom

menced healing rapidly. and gave ev-
idence of speedy recovery of the brave
officer, but when apparently in the
final stages of the healing process. his
knee began to swell rapidly, and in a
short time the skin became very much
discolored. Poultices were then ap-
piled, but the swelling continued to
enlarge, which caused excruciatiDg
pain in the knee. One morning Lynch
told his wife that he felt as though
something in the knee had given
away. An examination showed that
the gathering had bursted in seven
places, aud allowed a great quantity
of pus 10 escape. The great flow OF
noxius matter continued unabated,
and, greatly alarmed, the friends oi
the patient advised his removal to
Detroit, where he was taken, arriving
there on July 2Sth. DIR. Donald Nc
Lean, the proprietor of the Detroit
Sanitarium, found that the swelling
was suppurative abscess. He at once
opened the wound and explored thu
channel that the bullet had made
with probe. To his establishment
he found an obstruction, and upoI
extracting it discovered that it was I
